Mattias,
 
Wow, when you put it like that it makes me want to throw all my Yes albums away.
 
In all honesty I cannot remember a day in the last eight years when I didn't admire and respect you on many levels. We have had some scintillating disagreements yet we remain friends. There is one thing above others that a I like you for... Your ability to take a punch and to deliver one in kind while maintaining a sense of humor.
 
You want an apology? What, are you wearing a dress?
 
I look forward to seeing you next summer.
 
Frank

Lower Oboe ? Mixed brass ?

Brian Epstein ?

Mellotron history is filled with man love

Clean shaven long haired man with a cape ? Falsetto vocals about mountains and midgets ?

Its like like the old percy sledge song.

...and you have the nerve to question my Mellotron flute usage on my birthday on all days.

Frank...We have had our ups and downs. But I think an apology is in order.

Best regards,

From a Fan.

// Mattias.

Mellotron flute is for pansies, Mattias, which is why it seems prevalent in your music. I, for one, am a proponent of the manly Cello and mixed brass. Oboe's OK, but only the lower half of the keyboard. I like the mixed choir, but I stay away from the boys choir, as I am not Catholic.
 
Everyone knows that when John Lennon was playing the Mellotron Flute it was a secret homage to Brian Epstein.

I dont get it with you Frank. Stop hating the flute,  it is a classic sound. The Beatles used it on Penny Lane and you didnt  complain about that did you ?

Why is it always OBOE OBOE OBOE with you  ?

You are such a b-hole.

I really hope that the flute is  on the machine. I like  Mellotron flute. And maybe a choir  sound.

Best  regards,

Mattias

Anyone   know what 100 sounds come on the cartridge?  And what do they  mean by  cartridge anyway .. compact flash?

Just curious,  I've been meaning to  mail Markus for more details (if there are  any .. that whole website leaves  something to be desired).   I've considered getting a Nord for the 'tron  lead samples,  but it would be nice to have the mixing and pitch   bending.
